MEMORANDUM
September 22, 2026
To: Municipal Services Committee

From: David M. Reyes
General Manager
Subject: Municipal Solar Program Implementation Status Update

Attached for the Municipal Services Committee is a presentation from Pasadena Water and Power (“PWP”) providing a status update on the implementation of the Municipal Solar Program.

Initially developed as a five-site pilot, the program has evolved into a portfolio of 27 proposed municipal locations intended to support the City’s clean energy objectives through two Request for Proposal (RFP) processes. Category 1 consists of 13 sites identified as most suitable for near-term development, with the RFP issued on July 23, 2026, and target project completion by June 2028. Category 2 includes 14 additional sites that will advance through a later procurement phase, with an anticipated RFP release in December 2026 and target completion by June 2029.

The presentation outlines projected planning-level solar capacity, describes the site evaluation and prioritization methodology, and highlights interdepartmental coordination efforts. It also discusses key implementation considerations, including tree canopy preservation, parking and circulation impacts, public use requirements, stakeholder engagement, and site-specific constraints.

PASADENA PUBLIC LIBRARY COMMISSION
FY26 WORK PLAN/ANNUAL REPORT
The role of the Pasadena Public Library Commission is to advise the City Council on matters relating to the public library system, in order that the library is well managed in a manner consistent with the law and policies, and to advise library administration on the development of library policies. The 2025/2026 Work Plan outlines how the Pasadena Public Library Commission aims to support and advise the Library in the upcoming year. Whereas this work plan will span an entire fiscal year, the Commission will evaluate the progress of each of these goals on a quarterly basis to ensure progress is being made and the goals are completed.

With the Central Library Earthquake Retrofit and Building Repairs Project ongoing, the Library Commission’s primary focus in the upcoming year is to:
x Raise awareness of the Central Library Earthquake Retrofit and Building Repairs Project x Support the efforts to reopen the Central Library
The following goals and objectives, which made up the Pasadena Public Library Commission Work Plan for 2025/2026, also established ways for the Library Commission to support the Central Library Project. This fiscal year, the Library Commissioners developed a new goal-tracking system to monitor progress more effectively and ensure alignment with the annual work plan.

Goal One – Advocacy – advocate and be a champion for Pasadena Public Library services at the local, state, and national levels.
a. Strengthen community connections through outreach to neighborhood groups, senior centers, and local organizations. Increase library visibility by supporting staff in sharing resources at parks, farmers markets, and other community events. Build partnerships that support shared goals and collaboration.
b.

ANNUAL REPORT FOR FY 2026 AND
PROPOSED WORKPLAN FOR FY 2027
PURPOSE:

Section 2.105.110 of the Pasadena Municipal Code spells out the functions of the Planning Commission (the “Commission”).

State law also grants the Commission the broad responsibility for advising the City Council on all land use planning issues.

The Commission consists of nine members, with each Councilmember appointing one member and the Mayor appointing two members. Commissioners are appointed for three-year terms and may be reappointed to serve a maximum of six years. See Attachment A for a roster of Commission members. Each fiscal year (FY), the Commission elects a chair and vice-chair to serve for the upcoming FY. For FY 2026, Commissioner Carol Hernandez served as the Chair and Commissioner Lambert Giessinger served as the Vice Chair. In addition, Commission Higginbotham served as the Secretary.

The Commission regularly meets on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month and these meetings are open to the public and advertised as required by law. Meetings are broadcast through KPAS and the public can provide comments in person or remotely. Of the 24 regularly scheduled meetings this past FY, seven were cancelled.

See Attachment B for an attendance record of the Commission members.

The Commissioners also serve on committees to address specific issues and provide policy direction on planning matters. The first assignment is the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA).

The BZA met twice in FY 2026. The second committee assignment is serving as a representative on the City’s Design Commission.
